AI Generated Solution

To solve the question "If the distance covered by a particle is zero, what can be its displacement?", we need to understand the definitions of distance and displacement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Distance**: - Distance is defined as the total path length traveled by a particle, regardless of the direction. It is a scalar quantity and is always non-negative. 2. **Understanding Displacement**: ...

When a particle is undergoing motion, the diplacement of the particle has a magnitude that is equal to or smaller than the total distance travelled by the particle. In many cases the displacement of the particle may actually be zero, while the distance travelled by it is non-zero. Both these quantities, however depend on the frame of reference in which motion of the particle is being observed. Consider a particle which is projected in the earth's gravitational field, close to its surface, with a speed of 100sqrt(2) m//s , at an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal in the eastward direction. Ignore air resistance and assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m//s^(2) . There exists a frame (D) in which the distance travelled by the particle is minimum. This minimum distance is equal to :-
